DAXXIFY is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Like BOTOX and Dysport, DAXXIFY works by temporarily reducing the muscle activity that causes expression lines to form.
What makes DAXXIFY different is its unique peptide-powered formulation. It is designed to provide longer-lasting results, with clinical studies showing a median duration of about six months and results lasting up to nine months for some patients.
For patients who respond well to DAXXIFY, that longer duration may mean fewer treatments throughout the year.
Repeated squinting, frowning and other facial expressions can eventually cause the vertical lines between the eyebrows commonly called the “11s.” These lines can sometimes make you look tired, concerned or angry even when you don’t feel that way.
DAXXIFY temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for these lines, creating a smoother, more relaxed appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.
At Midwest Dermatology, DAXXIFY is administered by a physician who will customize your treatment based on your facial anatomy, muscle movement and the result you would like to achieve.
Longer-lasting results
DAXXIFY was developed to provide longer-lasting correction of frown lines. Clinical studies showed a median duration of about six months, with some patients maintaining results for up to nine months.
Results that appear quickly
Many patients begin to see improvement within the first few days following treatment, with results continuing to develop after treatment.
A non-surgical approach
Treatment can be performed during a short office visit without surgery or general anesthesia. There is little downtime, making it easy to fit treatment into a busy schedule.
Treatment personalized to you
Your physician will evaluate your facial movement, anatomy and goals to determine where and how much product should be used. The goal is a smoother, refreshed appearance that still looks like you.

DAXXIFY treatment is quick and can usually be completed in just a few minutes. Using a fine needle, your Midwest Dermatology physician places a small amount of DAXXIFY into carefully selected facial muscles. Most patients describe only mild discomfort, and no anesthesia is needed.
You may experience some temporary redness or swelling at the injection sites, and occasional bruising can occur. You can return to most normal activities following treatment, although your physician will give you instructions about anything you should avoid immediately afterward.
Results begin to appear gradually over the first several days as the treated muscles begin to relax. DAXXIFY is designed to provide longer-lasting results than traditional neuromodulators, with clinical studies showing a median duration of about six months. Individual results and duration will vary.
If you’re interested in a longer-lasting option for treating frown lines, talk with your Midwest Dermatology physician about whether DAXXIFY is right for you.
